Hey everybody. This is a dummy account for posting in this thread, because between my sister and Dad, there is enough Internet Detective skill to link my other account to me personally.

Anyway, I wanted you all to know, I'm closet Bi and have known since about being 10 or 12. I'm currently 18 (19 23MAR) and every day I ache knowing that, if people knew who I felt attracted to, everything in my life would fall apart. My Dad would probably disown me, my mother would never look at me the same, etc. etc. - basically the usual closet-whatever blues.

But over the past few weeks I've been reading this thread and I feel like there is a tangible hope to someday be able to tell a guy I like him and hit it off, or tell a future girlfriend that I'm Bi and have her be ok with that. Basically, LGBT Chat Thread, you give me hope in an otherwise bleak situation. For that, I cannot thank you enough. I'll stick around and maybe chime in once in a while, now that I have the dummy account set up :)

It's a shame this thread is too overtaken by immature conversation to generate more conversation like this.

I'm sure if you try talking to a few people about it, things wouldn't be as bleak as you assume they are. It's great that you are finding hope, though :)

Well, I told my mum and dad, on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. My dad took it well but my mum was quite sad, they're both unhappy about the lack of a 'natural' family. I told the rest of my friends today, they are all fine with it, and I'm going to a thing called GLYSS, which is a like a social club thing for LGBT people on Wednesday and Thursday. Apparently there are walks, bowling, crafts, movies and stuff. It should be fun.

That's great. We have an LGBT club here too [a few of them actually] and I would love to go to one sometime.
